Note: [http://howcast.com Howcast] has talked to Cheng and I about wanting to make a couple of videos like this. It would be great if they did but I think we should have some whether they come though or not. | Note: [http://howcast.com Howcast] has talked to Cheng and I about wanting to make a couple of videos like this.

=== Quickly narrow down forum posts for answering === | |||
Being able to narrow down the field of posts to look through is especially helpful if you only have a short time to answer questions and/or you have a special area of expertise. | |||
*Here's a video of what I'm talking about: [http://reports.graymattergravy.com/demo/sumo/forum.ogv Ogg video 2min] | |||
=== Badges, Points, Reputation, Stats === | |||
I'd love to have some automatic way to recognize contributor achievements. It would be nice to try to inject a little bit of fun or whimsy into answering questions. | |||
*Here's a video of how a few sites handle this: [http://reports.graymattergravy.com/demo/sumo/badges-stats.ogv Ogg video 3:30] | |||
=== SUMO Video Converter === | |||
It's one thing to ask people to contribute text but it's another thing altogether to ask for special encoded videos. It would be great to have a super simple, no fail theora (or VP8!) encoder for screencasts. [http://www.mirovideoconverter.com/ Miro makes a desktop app] and [http://firefogg.org/ Firefogg] is an addon - both are open source and basically add a GUI to [http://v2v.cc/~j/ffmpeg2theora/index.html ffmpeg2theora]. We should have a SUMO (app or addon) that optimally encodes things for the KB with drag and drop simplicity. | |||
=== Screenshots with Flickr-like notes === | |||
Instead of having contributors mark up screenshots in an image editing tool, we could build a notes tool right into the article editor. | |||
